Baby Joselyn has a lot of guts... and now they're all inside her!
Joselyn is now nearly a month old, but her first month has been different than most infants'.
Born with Gastroschisis, a problem where the baby's intestines grow outside the body while in the womb, baby Joselyn faced immediate post-birth surgery.
Joselyn spent about a month in the hospital, and she is improving beyond belief.
Today I saw a picture of Joselyn in her new "4 pound" baby car seat; her mom was practicing for their morning adventure of bringing Joselyn home from the NICU for the first time.
Like I said earlier, Joselyn has guts.
Any human who can come out of the womb weighing only 3.5 lbs, without her intestines in her body, and fight her way to health in under a month, must be stronger than any grown adult I know.
I am donating what I can to raise money for Gastroschisis research. Joselyn's mother asks that sympathizers go to the following site and donate if they want to help the cause. https://secure.donortownsquare.com/SSL/donate.aspx?sgst=0&amt=0&ai=1288&qs=XGKV9
